Aereo is an app that retransmits over the air broadcast signals
to mobile devices, meaning you can stream shows from networks
like NBC,
ABC,
CBS, and Fox.
Those networks are free for anyone with a TV antenna, but Aereo
charges you $8 per month to view them on smartphones and tablets.

News Corporation has a long-standing commitment to the
broadcast television business, and to delivering the
highest-quality entertainment, sports and news programming to our
viewers on a localized basis. We are committed to
broadcasting under a business model where programmers receive
fair compensation from parties that want to redistribute our
product while continuing to make our product available for free
to individual consumers that want to access our
signal.We believe that Aereo is pirating our broadcast
signal. We will continue to aggressively pursue our rights
in the courts, as well as pursue all relevant political avenues,
and we believe we will prevail.“That said, we won’t just sit idle and allow our content to
be actively stolen. It is clear that the broadcast business needs
a dual revenue stream from both ad and subscription to be viable.
We simply cannot provide the type of quality sports, news, and
entertainment content that we do from an ad supported only
business model. We have no choice but to develop business
solutions that ensure we continue to remain in the driver’s seat
of our own destiny. One option could be converting the FOX
broadcast network to a pay channel, which we would do in
collaboration with both our content partners and
affiliates.

Keep in mind, this feels more like an empty threat than an
actual promise. Aereo only works in New York City for now and
still has a tiny number of subscribers.

UPDATE: Aereo reached out to us with
a response to Casey's remarks:

Aereo has invented a simple, convenient way for consumers
to utilize an antenna to access free-to-air broadcast television,
bringing television access into the modern era for millions of
consumers. It's disappointing to hear that Fox believes that
consumers should not be permitted to use an antenna to
access free-to-air broadcast television. Over 50 million
Americans today access television via an antenna. When
broadcasters asked Congress for a free license to digitally
broadcast on the public's airwaves, they did so with the promise
that they would broadcast in the public interest and convenience,
and that they would remain free-to-air. Having a television
antenna is every American's right.
